Keeping good record for print making

Shouldn't giggle but why is it that Mac users have this smug superiority complex?

Never have the problem you're referring to, btw...

I'm a windows user and the word doc worked for me.

I am just amazed how elaborate some system can get...! Thank you very much for sharing. For my current purpose, I think, I am going to start by adding enlarger head height to my record. That will, at least, keep the exposure constant.

Here's what I use. There are boxes to sketch out the dogding/buring and then lines to describe the details if needed. There are several boxes as I sometimes have several steps of dodging or burning that I do.

I used to keep a database with the info, for prints much like Kirk's just posted. Unfortunately Microsoft's the upgrades to Access made it non convertible without a total re-write.

However I've found little problem even going back to 20+ year old negatives and re-printing them, and find dodging and burning instinctive on reprints.

I find it useful to keep accurate records but only for the short term, or for as long as I can get the same materials. Over the years I have tinkered with my note-keeping.
Things change for long term: paper you used may not be available, the developer, etc., etc.

The PDF file contains two pages but page 2 is blank.
